citizen as we do know back in two thousand and eleven they did receive a request from a foreign government this is russia's government that said that they should look into the identity of the older brother the older suspect to milan back that he was twenty four years. old and the f.b.i. did receive recommendations that they investigate him they did in fact ring to milan in for questioning the followed his phone calls they intercepted his social relationships as well as his activity online but did come to a conclusion that he is not dangerous and did end up freeing him and of course because the f.b.i. right now is being criticized for this they're going to trace their steps back look into what exactly they could have missed but also try to establish right now with the second suspect being alive whether the two brothers had any kind of connection to extremist groups that they might have overlooked two years ago and in the time in the years and days leading up to the bombings that took place here in boston also of course they're going to consider and look into the purposes of the trip to
4:03 am
the older brother to milan when he went back to the north caucuses for about six months they're going to try to see whether or not this time was used for him to be able to communicate with extremist groups on the ground in. boston massachusetts while a full of federal agent says the u.s. needs to rethink its policy on terrorism and who it deems to be a danger to the country this idea terrorism is such a confusing concept because we have our terrorists and they are terrorists it's the definition is supposed to be acts of violence against civilians for political purposes but you see this over and over where there the you us considers that there are good rebels and good freedom fighters at the very least the separatists in other countries are not considered as terrorists we have a whole establishment neoconservative establishment in the us now i have only involved in propagandizing that there are good rebel groups for instance in iran is
4:04 am
the latest example of the mujahideen call that actually was on the u.s. terrorist list but now we have been delisted to become the good rebel fighters against iran. the revelation that the boston terror suspects are of chechen origin has seen an influx of journalist to russia's north caucuses where the brothers family live while their parents are no longer willing to comment on the issue r.t. has been able to speak to another relative who knew the alleged bombers from childhood. really almost anyone who has any links with the top of my family is really in shock after what happened both relatives and friends now the brothers parents stopped talking to the media assets early saturday but i managed to speak to a close relative of the family now her name is. and he was she was married to the boy's uncle now she told me how really tragic and difficult the life of the toddler i
4:05 am
have family was and that for years they have been moving from one place to another as the father couldn't find a proper job and they've moved twice from kyrgyzstan's first to church now than to dagestan were they span just a bit over a year and till they moved to the united states in two thousand and two she even showed us some pictures that we're taking during that time pictures that captured both brothers in their early tiled women in one picture the older brother is just a bit over a year old now she spent a lot of time with tom avalon when he came here to dagestan last year to visit he has a parents and she describes him as a very family loving and caring young man and when i asked her whether he expressed any x. her interest in this she told me that his interest was never overwhelming. the middle and wasn't a religious fanatic he was curious about religion he started to be really interested in islam about three years ago but he was never
4:06 am
a radical we would talk about his commitment to religion but it wasn't extreme it was really hard for her to speak she told me that. the younger brother was planning to come here to dagestan this may and now their father plans a trip to the united states to bury his out of the sun to meddle and so as for many here if she couldn't the woman couldn't really believe that they were involved in the tragedy. it's impossible to believe that they could have carried it out just impossible it's terrible. but i can believe that there are children who respected their parents a lot termer learned was very attentive to older people through family for him have been was of use mothers feet both parents mobile phones are switched off or rarely own line and it's really impossible to reach them but i have since managed to speak to the mother of the two brothers and kept repeating their first answer in this and
4:07 am
she also mentioned that her eldest son tamerlan was under constant surveillance for years when both parents before mentioned told them that the albi i contacted right after the boston bombings and asking for questioning however the albi or the hour later denied that information now as for the father i spoke with him also in a telephone conversation just yesterday and he told me that he doesn't want to talk to any media right now so really dozens of journalists from all over the world is that how descended on this region hold that the man's family will speak and eventually shed some light to how their boys and it up the main suspects in the boston terrorist attack and they go to r.t. dot com to get the full picture of what past week has meant for the citizens of boston there is a photo gallery containing in images of the tragic events unfolding at the marathon as well as the manhunt that followed. the u.s.

military has acknowledged that over half of one ton of the bay prisoners are now on hunger strike among the eighty four protesters five have been put in hospital with life threatening conditions and sixteen being force fed. explains why the inmates have resorted to such desperate measures. here's a breakdown of who's currently held captive at the u.s. prison in guantanamo fifty four percent are yemeni nationals that is ninety five captives out of one hundred sixty six just a few more figures a total of eighty six prisoners there have been cleared for release fifty six of them yemeni nationals three years ago the u.s. suspended all transfers of detainees to yemen what seems to aggravate the psychological torture of indefinite detention is knowing that your nationality something that you cannot control is the sole basis of that ordeal defense lawyers say what they deal with now is collective punishment by the u.s. government based on nationality which is a clear violation of international law when pressed for answers the administration
4:09 am
the state department specifically which was in charge of those transfers they point the finger at congress at the moratorium that the lawmakers put in place that the defense authorization act that they passed but lawyers say those are just excuses our clients are coming to grips with cold so he may well die is going to not because the state is unable to transfer them but because unwilling to do so the transfer of structures are difficult for example they would require the secretary of defense to personally certify that receiving state had taken steps to ensure that a prisoner can ever threaten the united states in the future whatever threaten might mean in that context. and obviously no state can guarantee that a future event will or will not occur but that was the point the point was to discourage transfers from guantanamo citizens of forty eight countries in total have been held in guantanamo since the opening of the prison in two thousand and two the majority of them were from afghanistan and over the years most of them have
4:10 am
been transferred back to afghanistan the second largest group of captives were from saudi arabia and yemen and pakistan but you see the scope of the manhunt it included forty eight countries as of now it's not just the many nationals who are stuck in this legal limbo but the rest as well michael williams. senior advisor for guantanamo policy in the office of the legal advisor at the u.s. department of state testified before a human rights commission and here's what he said we will continue to work through the secretary of state and the other arms for u.s. government to accomplish transfers first of all mr williams to the state department gave this testimony in the middle of march that is three months after the state department shut down the office that was working on those transfers so it is not clear how they continue to work on it if they shut down the office that was doing that also defense lawyers present at this commission hearing saw the response as an attempt to water down the core issue to block it down in legal details which seem
4:11 am
to have no effect on the outcome the indefinite detention that they're asking for or justifying is under the laws of war and in the states united states mind that. that war ends at the end of hostilities against two al qaeda and associated forces well what does that mean that's indefinite that is the epitome of indefinite some here have voiced the idea that whatever is keeping most of those people there has nothing to do with the law but more with the fear that even those who had been wrongfully captured and held there for years for no reason have witnessed so much at that prison including torture and other forms of humiliation that fear that the u.s. may have created its own enemies there you have dozens of people cleared for release and still languishing in prison so they may have fallen victim not just to their wrongful capture but now to u.s. politicians assumptions of what they may or may not do in the future in washington
